This was a unique read. The whole time I was reading, I was wondering if it was fantasy or a sort of an alternate reality with a slightly exaggerated concept of what is feasible. And then... And THEN... And then I hit the plot twist in chapter 12. Oh, my goodness. It absolutely blindsided me, and yet the author totally played fair - if you looked at all the preceding writing, it made total sense in context, and you could even see subtle hints it was coming. But I have to declare it an example of masterful writing. Though I personally have never minded spoilers (life is too short to get hung up on things like that), I will not spoil it beyond that and I urge you not to spoil it for yourself either. The "Wait, WHAT?!" moment will be well worth it. The story leading up to it is certainly intriguing and entertaining enough to hold your interest, too, and though it's not the focus, Milo's feelings about his adoption add an undercurrent of emotional depth beneath the main plotline. Highly recommended.
